Instructions on how to convert 4DTV to W5
Not going to mention the providers name as it may be against site rules but they have sent this email to their customers on how to convert your 4DTV to W5. Here are the instructions to follow on how to get the 4DTV to
work on the W5 only.
**DO NOT MAKE CHANGES PRIOR
TO JANUARY 4TH, 2011.
IF YOU DO IT BEFORE THIS DATE
IT WILL DISABLE YOUR RECEIVER AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE
PROGRAMMING.
SATELLITE RECEIVERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF
YOU DO THIS BEFORE JANUARY 4TH, 2011.
• 1. Move your satellite dish to W5 satellite on 4DTV receiver. IT IS
EVERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ENSURE YOU ARE ON W5 FIRST. !
• 2. Ensure the satellite receiver is on channel 216 (STYLE) and has video,
or “Subscription required” message with a DCII signal lock. DO NOT
MOVE THE DISH AFTER THIS STEP!
• 3. Do a factory reset (options 6, 7, 7, 8, 7 and confirm by pushing enter).
After the lights on the front of the box go out (will take a few minutes) power
it back on.
• 4. Do an authorization reset (options 6, 7, 7, 8, 0-this is a hidden diagnostic
screen that the consumer will NOT see on their TV screen). This will remove
the satellite receiver from the 4DTV SAC stream.
• 5. Turn the box to channel 946. You will now do a manual tune (options 6,
7, 7, 8, 1). Tune to frequency 1430.00 in the top box. Scroll down to the box
below that reads tune. Push enter on tune. This will bring up a DCII light on
the front of the box.
• 6. Call to get a rehit or send rehit via WebSAMS. If you are not set up for
WebSAMS please call or visit our website to get authorized. We anticipate
long wait times and with WEBSAMS you can do it yourself.
• 7. Now program in the X4 satellite. Option 6, 4, 3, 3 select X4 and save. It
should take about 20 minutes to get a full download.
